Royal Australian Defence Forces

Royal Australian Defence Forces – Nation Pack [v0.7.2.4]

Bring the might of the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force to Sea Power with this comprehensive Australian Forces Expansion!

This mod adds a detailed collection of classic RAN and RAAF platforms, perfect for Cold War and early modern-era scenarios. Featuring both naval and air units, players can now command or encounter Australian forces across a range of historical operations. Also includes special guests in the form of our important Anzac ally New Zealand with a few of their Cold War era frigates and the Wasp ASW helicopter. Includes some adversary Indonesian units from available in game Soviet supplied assets, such as missile boats, MiGs and even a Tu-16KS-1 with custom model AS-1 Kennel missiles. This will allow for potential flashpoint scenarios between Australia and historical or alt-historical Soviet aligned Indonesia post-1965.
